   USPS Whistleblower Warns New Mail-in Voting System Could Disrupt Midterms

   A U.S. Postal Service (USPS) whistleblower has raised alarm about a new mail-in voting system that could cause major disruptions in the upcoming midterm elections. The system, ordered by President Trump's executive order, is rushed and untested, potentially leading to millions of voters not receiving their ballots or having them rejected. The portal is designed to screen all incoming ballots but has been criticized for its 0% failure rate, which could reject entire batches if one ballot fails to pass muster. The system's development has been hurried, with testing procedures eliminated, raising concerns about its reliability and the potential impact on the election.
